Bohemia

Situated on the idyllic cobbled streets of The Lanes, Bohemia offers a comfortable yet classy ambience for a romantic experience. Sink into leather armchairs and enjoy the roast menu, or opt for something from the la carte with plenty of fresh bites like the luxury truffle burger or grilled sea bass.

You can even take your other half up to the Veuve Clicquot roof terrace for something truly special, promising views of Brighton. On the drinks front? Choose from classics like a pornstar martini or quirky twists such as a smoked coffee old fashioned.

The Coal Shed Brighton

Located right in the heart of town, The Coal Shed is a stunning restaurant that's filled with dark furnishings and boasts a striking, standalone cocktail bar. There are DJs playing Thursday to Saturday, and it's open seven days a week for food and drink.

They use the highest quality ingredients around, sourced locally where possible. They specialise in fire-cooked meats like wagyu striploin steaks and rotisserie half chicken, as well as succulent seafood and plant-based dishes like firecracker cauliflower.

Nostos

Date night? Nostos has got you covered. Specialising in Greek and European eats, this fabulous dining destination is offering up a boatload of tasty grub, from salads to meats. If you're thirsty, they also have a fabulous range of bespoke cocktails like the citrusy Bacardi-based Naxos.

Burnt Orange Brighton

A stunning all-day restaurant along the beachfront, Burnt Orange is a great place to watch the sunset with your other half. It's got pretty, laid-back interiors that are filled with plants, as well as a sunny outdoor terrace that's got blankets for when it gets cooler.

Their menu is designed t share, featuring lots of small plates and wood-fired dishes. Think charred hispi cabbage, roasted stone bass, halloumi in green chilli honey and much more.

Catch & Grill

Looking for a romantic spot in Brighton? Catch & Grill in Hove provides the perfect atmosphere for a date night. Enjoy freshly grilled seafood like pan-fried bass with shrimp, or indulge in a roast sirloin beef as you sip cocktails by candlelight.

Tutto Brighton

Located in a former banking hall on Duke Street, Tutto is one of Brighton's best-loved restaurants - and for good reason. This stunning space is perfect for dates, featuring comfy leather booths and lots of greenery dotted around the dining space.

Treat your other half to the likes of spicy tomato rigatoni, chicken Milanese or wild garlic risotto on their Italian menu, or indulge in a set sharing menu on Sundays. And when it comes to drinks, the Spicy Blackberry Sour is not to be missed.

Giggling Squid Hove

Head down to Hove's high street on your next date night for the Giggling Squid, traditional Thai with a twist or two. Whether you graze like a goat or are as hungry as a horse, you'll find a meal made for your appetite. We're talking Thai tapas, classic curries, spicy stir fries, sharing platters and showstopping seafood. 

There are plenty of Thai-style tipples to try while you're here too, from beer and wine to curated cocktails like the mango chilli mosquito and Samui colada. 

The Set

If privacy is what you're seeking, it's got to be The Set. Two can dine in the intimate, Michelin space and chow down on an inventive spread featuring everything from prawn gyoza to caramel pecan pie to for dessert. Expect one menu comprised of 14 - 20 courses for just 12 - 16 guests over the space of nearly three hours.
